Title : Rosebud - Shards of Biographies - Pierre Assouline - Book

Summary :

"Rosebud, noun, masculine, from the English rosebud meaning 'rosebud', a metaphor from the film Citizen Kane..." For more than thirty years I have been searching for the rosebud in everyone. That little something that betrays us by revealing ourselves to others. The rosebud can be an item of clothing, an object, a gesture. A snowy landscape in a crystal ball. A work of art perhaps. Or a madeleine. It can be a trace or a print. Sometimes even a simple page of a book. Or a word. It doesn't matter if it's just a detail, as long as it's the right detail. Rudyard Kipling, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Paul Celan, Jean Moulin, Lady Diana Spencer, Picasso, Pierre Bonnard all hide their rosebud. Only fragments of biographies, shadows of truth, have seemed to me capable of revealing them in their elusive and essential aspects." Pierre Assouline.
